Doing some leisure reading here and never get this to work since I can never make a good star mask with 8000 or so stars in a nebula shot of the Milky Way.  Anyone have some good suggestions for basic star mask settings?

Hi Jerry,

For difficult fields you'd probably need to make a few masks with different settings and then combine them with PixelMath max().  I find that I have to adjust the settings for different images and different mask purposes so I don't have specific basic settings that I use regularly.

Cheers,
Rick.
